Faculty Development Awards and University Recognitions

Some Faculty Development awards (Fisher Course Reassignments, Fisher Fellowships, and Faculty Fellowships) and other University recognitions (University Professorships and endowed chairs) carry some combination of salary supplements, project expense funds, professional expense funds, and reassigned time (see the chart below for details). Faculty members may not hold simultaneously more than one Faculty Development award or more than one University recognition, except that faculty members on sabbatical may simultaneously hold a Faculty Fellowship.
